Creating a Basic Connection

Create a basic SharePoint connection at the following endpoint.

GET {{url}}v1/connections/platforms/SharePoint/new

Create a Connection with Applicable Authorization Type

Verify your instance support forms. In rare instances, there can be a misconfiguration with SharePoint that can falsely report that Forms are supported. If you are experiencing connection issues with SharePoint, you may need to configure for ntlm authentication for the auth_type parameter.

{
  "name": "SharePoint 2016",
  "platform": {
    "id": "sharepoint"
  },
  "auth": {
    "uri":"http://url.com",
    "username":"USER",
    "password":"PASSWORD",
    "auth_type":"ntlm"    
  }
}

Creating a Job

The example below shows a simple job for a SharePoint connection created as standard user without impersonation.

{
    "name":"Simple Job",
    "kind": "transfer",
    "transfer": {
      "transfer_type": "copy",
        "source": {
            "connection": { "id": "{{SharePoint_Connection_sourceID}}" },
            "target": {
                "path": "/sourceDocumentLibrary"
            }
        },
        "destination": {
            "connection": { "id": "{{Box_Connection_destinationID}}" },
            "target": {
                "path": "/destinationFolder"
            }
        },
        "simulation_mode": false
    },
    "schedule": {
        "mode": "manual"
    },
    "stop_policy": {
